    Engine Start Stop will be the First to Delete on New Truck

    Ive driven a 2023 Ram 5.7 with e-torque, it worked flawlessly, its probably the best system out there for stop start, problem is I live in the country, the only traffic jam is if somebody loses it and ends up on the road, funny how deer and moose close down roads. Before I decided to go Denali...

    Hertz CEO Resigns After Tesla Fiasco

    The EV mandate is falling apart and fast, their not good enough and people don't want them, and people don't even want to rent them, governments came up with a ridiculous mandate and the OEM's were forced to jump in and play the game, the incentive money was plentiful, all OEM's wanted the cash...

    Car companies spying on owners

    The answer to this is many companies including GM will have everything turned on till you turn it off yourself, they just hope you don't notice or care, you can have GM's app on you phone or infotainment system with everything turned off, thinking your safe, the problem is updates to the app...

    Hertz CEO Resigns After Tesla Fiasco

    EV's seem to be more of a house of cards, Hertz CEO Stephen Sherr is stepping down at the end of the month, he gambled and lost, I can see Ford CEO Jim Farley getting the boot for the Lightning and Mach-E debacle, depending how deep GM, Stellantis and VW are in this mess, I'd say their CEO's are...

    Car companies spying on owners

    Opting out is not enough of an option, you cannot trust companies to not using the data and its been proven over and over, you must shutdown the data right at the source, meaning in your vehicle, currently there is no option that shows up on the infotainment system showing you what data is being...

    Im well aware of this and know how to stop data from reaching its intended destination, its not that hard but it can be a long process that gets tedious, you have to get familiar with firewalls dealing with incoming and outgoing data, they are available, its just how serious are you in stopping...

    R2 Launch Event

    Let me finish off, Im on a roll, anybody who is starting out originally building EV's are trying to claim they are a tech company, if your product is on four wheels, rolls and carries people or freight, its an automotive company, being an automotive company brings on huge liabilities, you just...

    R2 Launch Event

    I watched the video a couple of times, my opinion, first whats with the social enviro shit at the beginning, did they forget about the mining needed for these trucks, then it gets into the Apple Steve Jobs new product presentation style complete with the same wardrobe, many companies use this...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    Thanks Tim, I like the fact the Hurricane has a cooldown sequence, that got me wondering about the LZ0, it would require an electric motor to drive coolant, but not that big of a deal for me as I would be using the Banks idash to keep an eye on the turbo temp, I also don't have a problem sitting...

    Only cars with fewer screens and physical controls will get top safety rating in Europe

    Yes, thats the problem now, Im going to have to put up with it on the new truck, Ive planned my own pdi when I get it home day one, underneath I'll check for proper grounding connections, any wires rubbing anywhere, the sensors will get a wax type of anti corrosion spray to be done yearly...

    Only cars with fewer screens and physical controls will get top safety rating in Europe

    I can see their point, physical controls are more expensive but more reliable, I agree that things like heating, vent controls, signals and wipers to name a few, when all of your controls are touch screen dependent, that means everything has to be interpreted through an operational program...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    Ive been watching many videos on new vehicles and how much time is being spent on explaining the infotainment systems, Im wondering how long till the buyer starts caring more about receiving some useless message about somebodies marriage or getting a pic of somebodies junk from the other side of...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    Thanks for the video, I watched it a couple of times trying to figure out how these guys come to their conclusions, both have beautiful interiors and fun electronics, I say don't take your eye off the ball, its under the trucks and under the hood that are the big deal, these guys were all about...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    There is defiantly irony involved here, my Ram is 07, it had a couple of small issues with rust, but got fixed and thats after rust proofing, it was all good and settled, the 2014's seemed to be the kick off of bad rust, a friend of mine had many panels replaced under warranty, Im kind of...

    2025 Ram 1500 coverage

    I would hit them up on the start stop, many guys keep their trucks for 10 years +, if your running around in a city, over 10 years you can accumulate 300,000 start stops easily, and with a turbo, I'd really want to know what they have done for cooling and lubrication By the way Ive been to the...
